(a) expenditure which the joint transport committee estimates will be attributable to the exercise of the Authorities’ functions in relation to the county of Tyne and Wear (“the Tyne and Wear component”);
(b) expenditure which the joint transport committee estimates will be attributable to the exercise of the Authorities’ functions in relation to the county of Durham (the Durham component); and

(8) The proportions in which the levy issued to the councils under paragraph (3) is to be shared among those councils are to be determined in the same way as proportions determined under regulation 7(3) in the case of a levy issued by an integrated transport authority.
